the platform is not content driven, this is the reality I see.. the platform is socially driven. The better connections you make, the better you weave yourself into the social fabric of the platform, the better chance you stand on doing well... if you do that, and you put effort into your content, you are likely to succeed.
Content however by itself, is like serving a buffet for absolutely no guests.
